Bregman, who was the All-Star Game MVP last year, has 630,159 votes, which is over 360,000 more votes than the next closest third baseman, Gio Urshela of the Yankees (269,716). His vote total also ranks fourth among all AL players regardless of position, behind only Angels outfielder Mike Trout (951,002), Astros teammate and outfielder George Springer (776,352) and Yankees catcher Gary Sánchez (737,107).

Springer trails only Trout for the lead among outfielders. Jose Altuve stands in second place among AL second basemen with 448,131 votes, trailing Tommy La Stella of the Angels by less than 40,000 votes. Carlos Correa (329,421) also ranks second among shortstops behind Jorge Polanco (395,210) of the Twins.

Springer, Altuve and Correa have been on the injured list since late May. Springer (hamstring strain) and Altuve (right leg fatigue/soreness) could return later this month. Correa cracked a rib getting a massage two weeks ago and could be out another month.

Last season, the Astros had a club-record-tying six players make the All-Star team, while the entire Astros coaching staff represented the club at the All-Star Game, led by Astros manager AJ Hinch.
